Happy Winter Solstice Day!

Finally, the darkest day of the year has arrived. And perfect timing. Because waking up early to train for a half marathon isn't the greatest when the sun doesn't rise until 7:15am.

And running in the dark behind Mr. Wookie while he's in all black isn't ideal for not stumbling over curbs, branches, and my own feet.

But then again, being forced onto a treadmill doesn't prevent crying from boredom.

Apparently the sun doesn't know I have a job that requires me into the office as early as 7:00am sometimes. Well, maybe I should send a memo.
